Texasota Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Wow, if this was April 1st, then I would know it was a hoax. But is appears to be legit. Given all the problems and recalls they have had on the 4Xe models it appears they are throwing their hands up in the air and saying they can't be fixed. Feel bad for those owners. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dequindre Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 They must be having a really hard time finding a fix for whatever is causing the stop-sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morgan20 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Yea, no surprise the big shots at Stellantis have called it a day for PHEV. Beyond all the reliability issues that Texasota and Dequidre mentioned, the whole concept of a Plug In Hybrid that's ICE dominant (which is what the Pacifica Hybrid and the Jeep 4xe models are) ain't makin' much sense to customers or to manufacturers. For ICE dominant vehicles, pure ICE and regular hybrid are best. For Electric motor dominant vehicles, BEV is best, EREV is an OK alternative in some cases, FCEV ain't practical for U.S. consumers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherminator98 Posted January 9 Author Share Posted January 9 My Buddy has a Wrangler 4XE and has been going through all the BS that has entailed with that. He's been pretty much a life long jeep owner..maybe he'll buy a Bronco next LOL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmc523 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 They'll still have hybrids, just not plug in hybrids. So I'd imagine they'll shift them to regular hybrids instead of what they have now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the U.S. Jeep product lineup, it's now either regular hybrid (Cherokee) or pure battery electric (Recon & Wagoneer S): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the components needed are ready and waiting. Same for the Ranger assuming it has a future in North America. Add Pro Power Onboard and they will sell themselves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed - I'd have gotten a hybrid had it been available. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
